SA Footy

After some debate with Admin/Mods and feedback from Members it has been decided to leave the Match preview/review threads for discussion about the match only, any debate about the AFL reserves teams can continue happily in the threads already running.

Any posts from now on that do not relate directly to the match will be considered off topic and deleted.

Hopefully this will stop every thread having this debate, while a worthy topic there needs to be some balance.

Thanks

Good luck with that Dutchy.

How about if a team's AFL reserves status relates directly to the match or the result thereof?

Discuss the effect on the match, debate the wider issue on the threads designed for such.

Fair enough.

Lol Rnd 5 Port v Adel thread

Greatest forward line to play in the SANFL ever. And I think one of them named has been playing for Richmond

I can see it is going to be hard work for you Dutchy

To be fair he asked the question. Didn't state it as fact. Of course it was a pretty ridiculous notion as best ever but in the last 10 years there wouldn't be too many better. Even as a 5 man forward line

Anyone know what Nathan Kraquer is doing for a job in Adelaide now? I mean it's not like he can live on $400/week for playing footy is it.

How does the salary caps of the crows and port teams work?

From memory the crows topup players get $100 a game.

How does it work for port?

Port didn't have any restrictions on age of top players and they were allowed to choose players already in the SANFL unlike the Crows. How Port were ever let in under different conditions astounds me. It is completely unfair. On top of this on any given day Port or Crows could have a player running around on a salary that is higher than the entire SANFL team they are playing.

Yeah a 28 year old hardened sanfl footballer compared to a country 21 year old is a pretty big difference.

Does port have to play their afl listed players in the league team too? Plenty of rookie listed and younger afl listed players used to run around in the sanfl reserves

Also as I understand it this will be a once off, as port lose their junior and reserves teams next year?

Yes they do and their zones will be divided up to the other clubs I believe. Not sure if their top up player conditions will change though as there has to be a years notice to change anything.

Wouldn't buy their license unless they got what they wanted

So both Kraquer and Sommerton, to name two, are both receiving a maximum $400/game and nothing more from the PAFC.......yeh right.

I believe they've done a deal with Summerton that sees him get paid big bucks when he turns 28 and can become the leadership player.

So along with Summerton they have Butcher, Krakouer, Raikiwasa and Slattery that have had AFL or SANFL experience on their top up list. From the team that was named last week they only had 2 players that haven't played SANFL before both over the age of 22. I could probably add Haren to that list as he only played one game last year.

Slattery is their leadership player and also has a job with the Power.

Didn't realise their rules were so different. No wonder they are doing better than the crows

This is why I'm so pissed off about it. I could almost live with it if both teams had the same conditions, but the SANFL have basically handed Power Reserves the premiership.

Port had no choice in the matter, he had a contract with the club which they have to pay.

lose the jnr zones not the reserve team.
